See I knew you would go there. I knew you would assume that I suddenly “trust” McConnell and Boehner - because you have no legitimate reason to be a bitter jackass today and yet, you are.
It takes zero intellectual ability to always, always, always be cynical. It’s the refuge of the unhappy and uncurious.
No I don’t trust McConnell and Boehner, but there are many anti Obama Care conservatives who are also more powerful in both the House and Senate now than ever. AND, being political animals, McConnell and Boeher now understand the anti Obama Care sentiment is much larger than they realized.
Will they do the right thing? Maybe. Maybe not. But I’m gonna enjoy the thrashing of the Dems now - there will be plenty of time to be suspicious later.
Well said.
Doyou honestly believe that McConnell, who ran on a promise to "repeal" Obamacare, will actually send a Bill to Obama that actually repeals it? Yesterday he tried to claim that the"American People" (that would be you and me) are deeply troubled about the minimal tax on durable medical equipment, as if most Americans are upset that they might have to someday pay an extra dollar or two out of their pockets for a TENs unit, should they need one 20 years from now.
McConnell's concern is not for the American people, but for his Crony Capitalist contributors.
Yes I am a cynic. It is not wise not to be cynical. Look what happened when Republicans owned both Houses and the Presidency. They went on a spending spree that would have made LBJ blush.
Now is not the time to put your trust back in government. The Republicans are cowards. McConnell is the worst of the lot, and he will be leading the retreat.
